PREFACE 

The  purpose  of  this  book,  as  conceived  by 
the  author,  is  not  to  attempt  to  create  or  to 
influence  usage  by  pointing  out  which  words 
should  or  should  not  be  used,  nor  to  explain  the 
meaning  of  terms,  but  simply  to  provide  in  a 
form  convenient  for  reference  and  study  the 
words  that  can  be  used,  leaving  it  to  those  who 
consult  its  pages  to  determine  for  themselves, 
with  the  aid  of  a  dictionary  if  necessary,  which 
words  supply  the  information  they  are  looking 
for  or  express  most  accurately  the  thoughts 
in  their  minds.  The  questions,  therefore,  that 
were  constantly  in  the  author's  mind  while  he 
was  preparing  the  manuscript  were  not,  is 
this  word  used?  nor  should  it  be  used?  but  is  it 
a  word  that  some  one  may  want  to  know  as  a 
matter  of  information  or  to  use  in  giving  ex* 
pression  to  some  thought?  When  the  word 
in  question  seemed  to  be  one  that  would  be  of 
service  it  was  given  a  place  in  the  collection  to 
which  it  belongs.  Believing  the  book  would 
be  consulted  by  students  and  workers  in  special 
fields,  the  author  incorporated  into  it  many

[fvl 

words,  including  some  technical  terms,  that 
might,  in  the  case  of  a  work  of  more  restricted 
usefulness,  have  been  omitted. 

It  happens  frequently  that  the  word  which 
one  thinks  of  first  does  not  express  the  exact 
shade  of  thought  one  desires  to  express  and 
some  other  word  of  similar  meaning  is  necessary. 
For  this  reason  there  is,  for  those  who  want  to 
write  and  speak  with  precision  and  effectiveness, 
an  important  use  for  collections  of  synonyms. 
Throughout  this  book  synonyms  means  words 
that  are  similar  in  meaning  or  which  express 
the  same  general  idea  with  shades  of  difference. 
Those  who  use  this  work  should  bear  in  mind  that 
all  words  that  are  classified  as  synonyms  cannot 
be  used  interchangeably;  that  there  are  differ- 
ences in  meaning  between  them ;  and  that,  before 
using  an  unfamiliar  word,  they  should  ascer- 
tain its  meaning  and  usage  in  a  dictionary. 
Antonyms  are  words  that  are  opposed  to  an- 
other word  in  meaning.  Such  words  are 
helpful  when  it  is  desired  to  express  contrasted 
or  conflicting  ideas  or  thoughts.  In  many 
instances,  however,  a  list  of  antonyms  is  un- 
necessary. For  example,  no  antonyms  of  good 
are  found  after  the  synonyms  of  that  word 
because  one  thinks  of  bad  instantly  when  con- 
sidering the  opposite  of  good;  and  under  bad 
numerous  synonyms,  which  are  also  the  anto- 
nyms of  goo d,  are  found. 

It  is  not  an  infrequent  occurrence  for  a  word 


to  be  required  that  is  neither  a  synonym  nor  an 
antonym  of  a  familiar  term  but  merely  asso- 
ciated with  it  in  meaning  and  usage.  Such 
a  word  cannot  when  unknown  or  momentarily 
forgotten  be  easily  found  in  a  dictionary.  In 
this  volume  collections  of  such  words  are  found 
after  the  general  terms  with  which  they  are 
associated.  This  feature  of  the  book  will  be 
of  service  as  a  memory-help  when  a  word  cannot 
be  recalled  and  also,  which  is  perhaps  of  greater 
importance,  by  enabling  writers  and  students 
to  learn  of  words  objectively  or  through  their 
associations. 

By  turning  to  the  word  that  is  thought  of 
first  or  to  the  word  with  which  the  term  that  is 
wanted  is  associated  and  reading  the  collections 
there  presented,  any  word  that  may  be  desired 
will  be  found. 

The  author  spared  no  effort  to  make  his  work 
as  complete  as  possible;  and  he  believes  that 
it  will  be  appreciated  for  its  comprehensiveness, 
modernity,  and  practical  usefulness.  He  will 
be  pleased  to  receive  from  those  who  use  his 
book  any  suggestions  relative  to  changes, 
corrections,  or  additions  that  might  make  the 
work  more  useful.  He  may  be  addressed  in 
care  of  the  publishers.
